Continuous assessment

Students will be evaluable as long as they have carried out a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade for the subject. If the value of the activities carried out does not reach this threshold, the subject's teaching staff may consider the student as non-evaluable. To pass the subject it is necessary to deliver all the planned activities and obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 on the average of the three evaluation activities. An average will not be taken and the subject will be understood as not passed if a minimum of 4 out of 10 is not achieved in each of the 3 evaluative areas.

The evaluation of the subject will be done according to three large blocks (evaluation activities), which are:

1. Group classroom practices: Case studies, simulations, documentary analysis, among others. An average will be made of all of them as long as the grade obtained is at least 5 points in each activity. The delivery of these activities will be linked to the calendar of completion of the subject.

2. Delivery of individual Portfolio: delivery date 01/09/2025.

3. Final exam of the subject: 12/19/2024.

* Classroom practices will be distributed throughout the entire subject, with a calendar that will indicate the start date and the delivery date of the practice. The return and monitoring of the practices that are part of the qualification will be less than twenty days. These classroom practices will be carried out in small groups (maximum 4 people) that will form subgroups in each seminar.

For students who request it, the review date and time will be agreed with the teaching staff (approximately two days after the individual written exam).

The recovery date will be January 30, 2025, being a test similar to the ordinary test.

To participate in the recovery it is necessary to have been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirdsof the subject.

Single evaluation

The single evaluation will consist of two evaluative elements, which will be held on 01/23/2025:

- A written development exam on the syllabus, which will include all the content worked on in the subject and will have a value of 50% of the final grade.

- Pass the complementary activities that will be published in the Moodle classroom. Among these, there will be an oral defense that will be carried out after the written exam, following the order established by the teaching staff.

To pass the subject in the single evaluation modality it is necessary to obtain a 5 out of 10, once the average of the two evaluative elements has been taken. An average will not be taken and the subject will be understood as not passed if a minimum of 4 out of 10 is not achieved in each of the two evaluative areas.

The recovery date will be January 30, 2025 using tests similar to the ordinary evaluation. For students who request it, the review date and time will be agreed with the teaching staff (approximately between 3 and 4 days after the individual written exam).

To participate in the recovery it is necessary to have been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the subject.

Data of interest for both evaluation modalities

The subject is essentially professionalizing, focused on student participation in class. Consequently, in-person class attendance is mandatory.

If the students do not attend a minimum of 80% of the teaching activities, the subject cannot be evaluated. For an absence to be excused, it must be documented. Only those resulting from unexpected force majeure such as illness or similar situations that prevent attendance at teaching activities will be considered justified absences. Carrying out another training activity for the degree may be considered an excused absence if it is previously accepted by the teaching staffresponsible for the subject.

Classes start on time. Entry to class once it has started or exit before finishing is not permitted.

The attitude in the classroom must be proactive, respectful and constructive. It is recommended to contribute ideas, questions and relevant comments that enrich the debate and collective learning.

The ability to relate conceptual content to procedural content will be evaluated, framed by the deontological values of the profession.

Likewise, in addition to the evaluative areas that determine the final grade, general communicative competence, oral and written, and a good command of the vehicular language that appears in the teaching guide will be assessed. Linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account in all activities. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly. An activity may be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if it does not meet this requirement.

It should be noted that plagiarism or copying in any of the evaluation activities will be grounds for failure.
